Hi everyone,
Please forward this information to the members and get it onto web sites.
It was brought to my attention that the Sheraton Hotel in Sioux Falls,
SD is completely booked for Gold Rush XX. I spoke with Valerie at the
Sheraton. They are NOT taking names to put on a waiting list. She
suggested contacting the Holiday Inn (a sister property to the Sheraton)
and make reservations there. Contact number is 605-339-2000. Mention
GWTA for the special rate of $69 per night.
If you are traveling with a family and want to entertain kids, or just
love water, I recommend the Best Western Ramkota Hotel. It has an
indoor water park!! The rate is $79 per night. Click here to see details

I am traveling to Sioux Falls this Fall for an operation's meeting. I
will have more details of the area after that.
I want to apologize to everyone that had a terrible experience at the
Velda Rose in Hot Springs. I stayed there last October and had a
wonderful experience. The hotel was under new ownership as of July 1st
and the general manager walked out Sunday morning when we started
checking in. While GWTA does all it can to contract with reputable
hotels at an affordable rate we have no control over sales and
management of property one year after we sign contracts. If you feel
very strongly about your experience at the Velda Rose please contact the
Better Business Bureau and lodge a formal complaint. You can file a
complaint at www.bbb.org Again, GWTA would never contract with an
organization that is so poorly managed.
Plan early and reserve your room for next year. Gold Rush XX - our 20th
birthday party - will be a great time!!!!!!
Ride safe,
Barb Johnson
